Bad day at track...
Bad day at track... I was at the PSCA Finals in Fontana on Saturday doing hits all day on the car in two separate classes. The car was doing pretty well, while still getting it dialed in, and on the sixth run I dump the clutch and snap! A 3.5" IEDL aluminum drive shaft becomes a donation to the metal yard recycle center. Luckily I had installed a safety loop a long time ago and it saved a ton of damage.
Cliffs: if you race on MT/Hoosier/GY ET type tires or slicks, install a $50 metal DS safety loop.
I'm going to a Denny's chromoly steel unit after this.
Picture on one of the runs...street twin clutch is taking some practice to get right.

Not too shabby, the mph shows you are making HP but you need to work on getting the 60'-330' times down and the et will drop drastically. What gear are you running b/c those M6 cars need 4.30-4.56 or lower to leave hard. You also need a little wheel slippage so u don't break so many parts. LOL Goodluck Clint
Man I did all that damage w/ my ST except the d.s. but it's a steel one, Denny's NR to be exact. Are you running a 12 bolt and what gear? what rpm did you lunch it, I mean launch at?
